that happened to mee!!!!!! if you have warranty tthen i'd send the phone in cause speaker phone gets annoying especially when people are listening to your conversations.
If you know how to open phones and work phones, somehow get a blackjack earphone speaker its the same for the wing. thats what im doing since i dont have warranty =(
I'm on my like 3rd Wing right now. The last time, the touchscreen stopped responding... and I can't remember why I had to get it exchanged the first time.
With some very heavy persuasive skills, I went to the TMO store today, and got them to instore exchange my phone... and the receipt I had from the last exchange was 8/30/07... which is past their whole 14 days exchange/return policy. w00t! haha
well done, hope the new one works good for you
Have you found said blackjack speaker? I need one of these as well. What the frick is up with the speakers on these phones?
wow, I am beginning to hate HTC more and more, too many effing problems...
I sent my DESIRE HD in last week on Wednesday and i just got it back today
the fault with it was IN CALL VOICE CRACKLING required new SPEAKER.
I got the phone back today and tested it and all they seem to have done is REFLASHED the firmware. they have done nothing what so ever to the phone at all no new speaker and in call voice still crackles.
waste of bloody time and space thats what they are.
they can make outstanding phones but there tech support is utterly ****!
Im not impressed.
I've not had a problem with them to be honest. Call them up again and tell them of the situation and that this time they should fix it properly and quickly.
Hi guys,
I sold the atrix to a friend but some how the phone's ear piece is now working, not sure if it was dropped ( no sign of damange or water)
Anyways its a ATT one but i checked on moto UK website with IMEI and it says warranty and 0 charge to repair.
Now the phone has unlocked BL, now if I have to send it to moto, can I restore as factory?
will this lock the BL? I dont want moto to void the warranty.
Advice appreciated.
As a last resort, you can always buy a spare part with an earpiece speaker on ebay ($15), as I did. It seems that earpiece problem is one of the most frequent with atrix.

Was this easy to do mate? the friend I sold the atrix to, might not be bothered about BL unlock.

I haven't received the cable yet, but I've watched some take apart videos on youtube and it seems to be rather easy to replace the cable. I think I can do it myself
I think I will go with the warranty, will try get a authorised 3rd party to repair , carphone warehouse or sent it to moto.
Cheers

Happened to my ATRIX and my Motorola Q. Motorola quality control failure.

I also had this issue. I flashed stock rom so unlock wouldn't pop up on reboot. Took it to att warranty center and walked out with new one in 15 min.

I have the same problem. I bought an AT&T Atrix on eBay, used. I am from Argentina, so importing it was expensive and returning it to seller is not a option.
Phone has no sound at all on the earpiece. I bought the flex cable from China that has the earpiece, power switch, interface to fingerprint reader and the front camera. I replaced it really carefully but it did not Fix the problem. Front camera works, on/off button and fingerprint reader works. Earpiece does not work. By the way, the flex cable from China was the original part. Exactly the same as the one that came in the phone. Same serial numbers et all.
I connected a pair of headphones (Original Motorola) and if I turn the volume real high all I hear is noise. It is like the audio amp for the earpice is toast... also no music through the headphones. External speaker works ok.
It is really disappointing to have such a phone and that it does not work and I have no warranty at all.
Any ideas?
For what I have read, Motorola has replaced the faulty phones, so it looks like there is no fix, prolly mobo replacement? But they don't sell that.
Best Regards
Hi,
My Atrix has failed on jack headphone. Then I sent it to the warranty service. It took almost 30 days to get back, because some dumbass returned it to me with a nonworking powerbutton (and it still had fingerprints INSIDE LCD).
Well, it came back, at least. But, 2 days after it, the ear piece, the call speaker stopped to work. As I use Android system info app, I get some red output (errors) when I try to call someone:
E/AudioPostProcessor
Error:Invalid accessory 18 in
am_config2coeffs_audio_device
D/AudioPostProcessor
getOutputGain(): unsupported device, set to SPEAKERPHONE!
Besides the factory reset I've already tried, there's no chance that these messages above indicates software problem?
Should the hardware replacement be the only way?
Thanks in advance
i think the right answer here would be not what kind of problem it is but what do you want to do about it. if you want to completely rule out software you could unlock, root, flash custom ROM. if you are uncertain and prefer to go for the safe route and warranty is still available then just send it back to repair, without any SW mods.

Had the same problem with my Atrix 4G, its not software related at all as I tried several different roms.
i am currently having this problem and have looked everywhere for a solution. this is not a software problem it is quite a common fault with the atrix 4g. the only option is to have it replaced.
Suddenly my atrix says it has headphones connected when it doesn't, so I cant is the ear piece anymore. Using cm7.2, any ideas or is this the same problem others are having, thanks

I had this same issue on my droid x once, turns out it was a rain drop that went into the headphone jack.

Same issue with my girlfriends Atrix. Works fine over the speakerphone but the headset has no sound. Just submitted it for warranty work.
Hi, I got my phone from o2 and the first phone I got had the buzzing earpiece problem.
I took it to the shop and they replaced it with a new one right there.
Couple weeks later I started noticing the annoying buzzing again, so I took it back and said they can't replace it but have to send it in for repair.
The verdict came back that there was no fault, when there clearly is cause making phone calls is nearly unbearable in quiet environments.
Now I want to know if I can go straight to LG to get an RMA even though I bought it from o2? What's the best way to get my phone fixed!!!
Many thanks :good:
(Can someone edit the title of my post so it has [UK] in the title?)
Anyone got any idea?
If o2 won't replace your phone then you will need to contact lg and send your phone in for repair. I would like to say that I have gone through three nexus 4's and each one had the ear piece buzzing all replaced for other reasons (yellow hue), so it is likely that your next device will be the same or worse.

So even if I bought it from o2 I can still go to LG? Will that service cost me? It's within warranty still.
I've had my RAZR M for about 2 months now, so far, its been a fantastic phone!
Over the past few weeks, the earpiece speaker quality has been degrading, up to the point now where its got a severe buzz to it, almost like the speaker is blown. I have to turn the volume down when making calls just to hear the person on the other end clearly without distortion.
Anyone else have this problem? Is the speaker available anywhere as a replacement item? I'd rather not go through the hassle of getting it repaired/replaced by Verizon (I hear they give refurbished phones as replacements, right?).
Thanks!
Sorry I didn't see this post before,
Yes I have the same issue, exactly!
Been meaning to take it in to have it looked at but haven't yet, have you done anything about it yet?
I used to be able to tap the back of the phone with my hand to get it cleared up but even that isn't working any more.
Ha ha... I had this same issue on a straight out the box M... which also made me get a replacement which also got me root and an unlocked boot loader... I knew I wasn't unmoral and had some values................

Mine got so bad last week that I took it back to Verizon.... Told the rep what the problem was and he just put in the order for replacement..... Never even cared to listen to it. I know it's a reconditioned one but it only has to get me to October for my upgrade.
